THEOLOGY & RELIGION
Time to Call Home By Hugh O'Donnell With recourse to poetry, scripture, art and music, Hugh O’Donnell takes the reader on an awesome ecological journey. Time to Call Home is a collection of short meditations inspired by Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical letter on climate change, that encourages the reader to take courage in the face of adversity and to ponder the astonishing gift of the natural world. Unlike many examinations of the environmental crisis that are understandably prescriptive in approach, the aim of this particular work is not to admonish but to embolden.

Every Bush Aflame By John Feehan Argues that those whose lives are directed by the spiritual perspective should be the most motivated to respond to the current environmental crisis. The theme that echoes most frequently through Laudato Si', Pope Francis' landmark publication on the environment, is the central role of biodiversity in creation spirituality. Every Bush Aflame is an extended reflection on this theme, exploring the origins of biodiversity in Christian theology, its roots in our growing scientific understanding of the true nature and scale of life’s complexity and diversity, and the implications of all this for the kind of Christian response called for in Laudato Si'.
